    Well this is obviously just good fun for the game and we shouldn't stop this from happening. I'm sure everyone really enjoys the extra danger and risk that occurs when people can attack steal from you like that. This is very similar to the attacks of opportunity that occur to flagged players so surly everyone will enjoy this.

    It would seem to me like this is a great time to test your ability to perform an organized rollback. Assuming this is a bug, you guys can't just let this type of thing go on for a while weekend after the final wipe and say "oh sorry you lost all your worldly possessions, we fixed the bug!"

    Great time to test out how rollbacks are communicated, who can perform them, what type of event should force a rollback (I'd say anything like this where the mechanics fail the players and they have no chance), who can perform a rollback on the weekend, etc...

    It's roll back time!

    Robust town guards would sure help and improve the entertainment. I am for more stealing, but more danger in doing so. You do not have to flag PVP to call a guard when you notice suspicious activity.

    Robbed just now in Brittany - I am not marked as PVP.

    I'll watch the forums but until this is fixed... I'll take a break from gameplay. :)

    picking a pocket shouldn't be able to steal large items anyway. It should be limited to small amounts of gold and nothing more (since it ends up with a ransom anyway). I'm not sure why UO style thief skills are in this game.

    Gold is hard enough to come by. Why not all be thieves? Then we can steal from eachother and do nothing. I have an idea, why don't we have a separate server for thieves only.

    Best Bug since the wow-plague-bug and the wow-pull-onyxia-into-stormwind-bug!
    Definitely have to skill pickpocket today!

    That being said: Bug Report it please. Needs to be fixed before final wipe.

    I would take objection to this because when I was out of ammo in the US Army at it's national training center, the most likely target of theft during combat was the enemy's weapon. Mind you that it's almost a given fact that the act was objected to by it's owner, yet I do believe that such a thing could be stolen, but in a very obvious way, affording the opportunity for reprisal. The UO skill "disarm" comes to mind, but this is outright theft which is not necessarily pockpocketing.
    "I support outright theft"...

    The theft from blue players and by blue players is obviously a bug that needs to be fixed. I wouldn't call this out of control, its just a bug. Once that specific aspect is fixed, I think it will be working as intended and will prove a very fun game mechanic.

    I think long term, this skill tree will produce a lot of meaningful player interaction. ;)

    It's just one of those things that happen from time to time. Like when all the POTs were accidentally made PVP.
